A MORE CUSTOMIZABLE RULES.TXT
HERE ARE SOME IDEAS FOR MAKING THE CIV MORE CUSTOMIZABLE
1: More customizable buildings. eg(rules.txt)
BUILDING, TASK, INCREASE, PRE-REQ, LIMIT*
Cathedral Happy +1 Temple No
City Walls Defence Land *3 Nil No
Supermarket Spec (Special type) Nil No
Stock Exchg Trade +50% Bank 10?
*Limits on the no of each type of building you can have. ie each civ can only have 1 palace, 10 stock exchange? etc.
2: More customizable wonders. eg(rules.txt)
WONDER, TYPE, TASK, INCREASE TYPE2, TASK2, INCREASE
Pyramids Cities Building Granary No
Shakespea.. City Happy All No
Collossus City SqTrade 1 No
Lighthouse Civ SeaMove 1 Civ NoShipSink 100%
Appolo Program Immed Map 100% All Allow SS Structural
(Types: Cities=all cities of owning civ. City=only the city that builds it. Civ=only owning civ. All=all civs. Immed=only once, immediately after wonder is built, for 1 civ. ImmAll=only once, immediately, for all civs. No=no change)
3: More Customizable units. eg(rules.txt)
UNIT TERRAIN JOB1 JOB2 JOB3 JOB4
Engineer Land Foundcity ImproveTerrain LayMine CaptureCity
Frigate Sea Transport Attack CaptureCity No
Explorer Land Scout CaptureCity No No
Armour Land Attack Defend CaptureCity No
Artillery Land Attack CaptureCity No No
Helicopter Air Attack CaptureCity WaterDamage No
Stealth Fighter Air Attack AirAttack SinkCrash Stealth
Cavalry Land Attack Horse CaptureCity Defence
Pikemen Land Defence x2vsHorse CaptureCity No
MineLayer Land LayMine No No No
Spy Land Bribing Diplomacy Embassy Sabotage
other jobs(Trade, Paradrop, Amphibious, Sub)
4: More customizable terrains. eg(rules.txt)
TERRAIN DAMAGE TYPE TEMP NEAR BONUSES
Ocean 0 Sea 5 BaseType Few
Coastal? 0 Sea 5 Land Few
Glacier 1 Land 1 Tundra Few
Tundra 0 Land 2 Grassland Few
Grassland 0 Land 5 BaseType Many
Damage is the attack performed on the unit by the terrain per turn. Near is what the terrain can be substituted for. Basetype means can be substituted for an empty(unassigned) square.
5: More customizable sciences. eg(rules.txt)
SCIENCE COST SPECTYPE SPECIAL
Seafaring 200 All LessSinking
NuclearFusion 1000 All Nukes
Philosophy 500 First FreeScience
Mysticism 200 All Temple
Monarchy 300 All Monarchy
Railroad 300 All Railroads
Mining 0 Immed Mining
Irrigation 0 Immed Irrigation
Roads 0 Immed Roads
Industriali... 500 All CityGfxUp
(Immed=everyone starts with science. Not shown on sci advisor. All)
(All=everyone gets benefit of special of science)
(First=first one to research gets special)
(Cost=amount of lightbulbs required)
COSMIC CONSTANTS
Labour production loss for inter-prod type change (0%-100%) default 100%
Labour production loss for intra-prod type change (0%-100%) default 50%
Materials production loss for inter-prod type change (0%-100%) default 0%
Materials production loss for intra-prod type change (0%-100%) default 0%
Moves on railroad (0 = infinite) default 12 (should be moves on road * integer)
Pollution capacity (0 to 1000). 1000 means enormous amounts of pollution are required for any effect.
default 100.
Mine Damage (1-100) attack strength of a mine. Default 10. (ADM / HF of 10,1,N/A / 1,1)
Interest rate (Needs 5 sig figs. From -100.00% to 100.00% per turn. Default 0%.
Interest cutoff (No interest past this point. Interest rate decreases linearly from 0 to here. 0=no cutoff).
(Interest can be set negative to simulate inflation) Interest cutoff for a negative interest rate is where interest rate is equal to the above set interest rate. Decreases(=negative increase) to 0 interest at 0$ linearly. (Amount of money needs to be stored as at least a longint. Preferably an 8-bit integer)
ie
Interest Rate Cutoff $$$$$ Current Interest Rate
20% 0 50 20%
-20% 0 50 20%
50% 100 10 45%
50% 100 90 5%
50% 100 500 0%
-50% 100 10 -5%
-50% 100 90 -45%
-50% 100 150 -75%
(Interest rates exceedingly high, and cutoffs exceedingly low, but you get the picture)
Help provides help on the original game settings. So if you change the science chain or the ADM of a unit, the help menu doesn't adjust.
It would also be nice to have a built in editor where you can edit all these plus the graphics.
